Swallowed Whole vs. Master/Slave

Master/Slave is nice.

Master/Slave is nice but I really like Swallowed Whole. I keep saying this but maybe Swallowed Whole is the song most ruined by Lightning Bolt's production.

Anyway, vote for Swallowed Whole

I agree with that re production. The bones of a good song are there, they just needed to jam it out and make it a band song.

Whenever I listen to Swallowed Whole, which I did last week, I realize I like it more than I remembered. It's an easy vote here.

I dislike Swallowed Whole.

I don't hate Swallowed Whole and Master/Slave isn't enough of a song for me to vote for it.

Master/Slave and it’s not even close. Swallowed Whole is near the bottom of the trash pile for me.

I just voted for an intermission kind of song, and i didnt with Who You Are-Wasted Reprise.

SW is one of those songs i cant really listen to...i hate the acoustic guitar, Ed´s prominent vocal, the horrible drums...awful, awful production.

I'm with you on those one.

Swallowed Whole has been my least favorite LB song since the album dropped. I heard Master/Slave today for the first time in forever and was taken aback by how great it is. Such a fantastic sign on things to come. They had it in them from the jump!

This is not a “hipster” vote at all. Master/Slave is so atmospheric and cool, SW is just pure diarrhea coming out of a megaphone.

SH is not bad. Gets my vote being a full song.

SW hurts my ears to listen to. Not that it’s a bad song, it’s just so poorly mixed/produced. That opening guitar is legit hard for me to hear.

Implying that Master/Slave isn't a full song is weird.

let's be honest ... it's more a prelude and then an outro than a full song within the context of the other songs on Ten.
